Thank you, I'll try that!

Hi,

I had some problem with my computer and I had to make a new Windows installation (I wasn't able to access to Windows anymore).

I've downloaded Houdini 15.5 and installed it, but when I put my login credential in the license server my license doesn't shows up: how to I activate it again?

Note:

- I've an Indie license.
- If I make the login to http://license.sidefx.com [license.sidefx.com] I can see all my license with no problem.

That's awesome Tomas! Thanks a lot!

I tried also with a different geometry but I wasn't seeing any difference probably because I was missing also the Attribute Wrangle that you added!

Thank you for the help!

Hi, thank you for your answer!

I tried again but I don't see any difference..

Hi, I'm trying to use PolyReduce to make some mesh lighter.

I've painted some weight value for the PolyReduce but the Attrib Weight doesn't seem to have any effects: can you tell me what am I doing wrong?

Thank you it works!

Hi, is there a way to edit the geometry selection of a Blast node?

I've selected some primitives in the viewport and then deleted with a Blast, but how can I edit the selection after the blast is applied?

I've heard there is a way to do this with the “backitck” key, but I don't have it on my keyboard: is there any other solution?

Hi, I've a problem rendering “heavy” Ocean Wave from Ocean FX.

My problem is that while is that if I use resolution above 10 or “high” number for row and column for the grid, Mantra stops rendering.

I think it's a memory related problem, but my task manager says that I'm using less the 10 GB (and I've 32 GB of ram): any suggestion?

Thanks a lot! I'll try to use this and see what can I do! :wink:

Can you tell me if I am right? I can use the DCM method only inside Houdini? What if I want to do the composite in Nuke?

Thank you for your reply!

What I want to do is to have a ZDepth pass to use in Nuke with ZDefocus/ZBlur.

Now I'll read the page you linked!

Hi, I'm new around here and I have two simple question to ask you about the pyro system.

Let's start with the easy one!

smoke_color
I searched how to output different mask and “color” for a pyro render and I found that I can use this image plane:

- fire_mask (float)
- fire_color (vector)
- smoke_mask (float)
- smoke_color (vector)

My questions:
1. are this 4 the only one that exist or are there other usefull imageplane to use with pyro?
2. why in smoke_color I have not only the smoke but also the fire?

zDepth
Is it possible to export a zDepth pass for a pyro simulation?
I tryed with the standard position z but with micropolygon rendering the result is like this one:



and with PBR is VERY noisy: can you tell me what should I do?

I hope you can help me!
